Sample Answers

Do you want to be a teacher in the future? I don't think so, because I believe that teaching requires a lot of patience and dedication, and I'm not sure if I have those qualities. Also, I think I would get frustrated if my students didn't understand the material, so I think it's better for me to pursue a different career path.

Do you remember any of your teachers? Yes, I remember my high school English teacher, Mrs. Johnson. She was very kind and supportive, and she made learning fun. I appreciated how she took the time to explain complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand, and she was always available to answer our questions.

What were your primary school teachers like? My primary school teachers were generally very caring and nurturing. They created a warm and welcoming classroom environment that made me feel comfortable and eager to learn. They also made sure we had a lot of fun activities and games to help us learn, which I think was really effective.

Did/do you have a favorite teacher? Yes, I did. My favorite teacher was my college professor, Dr. Smith. He was very knowledgeable in his field and had a great sense of humor, which made his classes enjoyable. He also gave us a lot of freedom to express ourselves and encouraged us to think critically, which I appreciated.
